SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

You should be counting yourselves lucky that you wont be asked , in fact I'd suggest a sizeable donation to the ' Bullbuilder ' fund is in order as a thank you :wink:

SL just keeps getting better and better :lol:

The more serious upshot to this is that it puts Fax, Fev and Leigh in serious limbo.

With all due respect, there are clubs in the championship who accept their position and are quite happy to form a "partnership" with a super league - indeed will possibly benefit from it. But this is a position that has been forced upon the championship clubs - one the SL clubs decided to introduce without championship clubs getting their say! If the plans for under 20 rugby in super league come to fruition there will be even more pressure to follow this route! And there was me thinking a club gained a super league licence on THEIR ability to produce youth, not relying on championship clubs to bring them on.

Fax, Fev, Leigh and any other club with super league ambitions, will not want a partnership. They have their own ambitions and pride, as well as proud and ambitious supporters. So where does that leave us? Have the RFL even considered this? The Bradford decision proves not one championship club was considered - a 13 team SL or 14 teams with Bradford - was discussed. The door is shut.

This could well prove to be a watershed decision in the sport, and one chairmen of all championship clubs need to react to!

Do Hetherington and his mob really think fans lost from championship clubs will really embrace their nearest SL club?

'Fax fan in Stockport: The jewel in the ring of Manchester

What happens when Salford go bust? Precedent has been set. Or has it?

It is definitely one massive clique with the RFL lowering it's pants. I hope they all stew in their own juices and implode. Let them rot as the quality goes down under and to Union. Never before have I wanted a group of RL club to fail as I do now. They deserve each other and we're best off out of it.

FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........

It's a licence to go bust & be saved by the other SL members, unless of course you're not welcome in SL for whatever reason.

As i had a good upbringing, I was always told "unless you've nothing good to say don't say it" Therefore no comment.
I was also told not to speak ill of the dead.

Well a line has most definatley been drawn in the sand, and none of us can expect to be invited over it, so what to do about it? , well apparently the Championship chairmen now have a ' pre ' meeting before the council or APC meetings start, but are they seriously going to all agree to a united course of action?

No chance

It requires all clubs to state they will not be submitting an application to enter SL until the governing body start to apply rules and attitudes equally to all

But they wont, partly because the governing body ( Mr Wood ) is a vindictive organisation, that will take any dissent personally, and dish out retribution personally as well

RL is becoming an absolute joke

Think you're right there Mr Bug, my old mate.

The Championship chairmen are in, in my opinion, a strong position. Anyone outside of Super League can see how this is panning out and I'm sure they can gain a lot of sympathy whilst applying pressure on the RFL, as well as exposing the sport for what it is.

Having said that, it's only a strong position if they use it well. I certainly don't think they would all vote to not apply for SL, even though they saw Fax being used last time to make the inevitable decision seem more exciting and unpredictable only to stick the boot when their inadequacies were shoved in their face!

What would the average Fax, Fev or Leigh fan think if their board didn't apply for SL - on the surface a serious lack of ambition.

Glad I'm not a chairman! What would you do Mr Bug?

Its not an easy thing to do freddie, but it is a time for realism, can any of us honestly say we are up to the challenge of SL as it currently is? And as ' honorable ' men, do we want to sit at the same table as the ' pond life ' that inhabit SL?

I'd tell them to shove it, but it needs them all to do it, and we know they wont, thats one of the reasons I'm no longer a director of a RL club
